Good - Requires some fitting...

Date:September 29, 2009

As others have already stated, you may have to do some fitting on these parts. I really only needed the hammer, trigger, and hand/hand spring parts, the hand/hand spring had been rigged up by the former owner and was shoddy. The trigger pull was extremely light due to someone filing on the trigger and hammer. I changed out those parts plus the mainspring so it would be new. I would have changed the cylinder stop also, but it would have required a lot of filing/dremeling. I did have to dremel and file on the hand (cylinder advancement piece). I just matched it up with the old one and removed metal until it looked the same. It finally all worked out and the timing was perfect. Definitely a valuable product to restore/repair anyone's Pietta 1851 or 1858 revolver.

might need some fitting

Date:August 11, 2008

I purchased the repair parts kit to replace parts on my repro colt that had either worn out or broken. when i first installed the parts, the gun would not lock up correctly or fire consistently. i removed the replacement parts and did some fine tuning with the help of a file, reinstalled the parts, and they worked fine. i would reccomend this kit for anyone who owns one of these pistols and shoots it often, and this is the only place that i could find which carried them.

Replacement revolver parts kit.

Date:June 20, 2007

I have used these parts kits for both a couple of 1858 Remingtons, and a couple of 1851 Colts Navy reproductions. For the Colts, the parts I used pretty much dropped right in. The parts for one 1858 Remingtons did not all drop in. The main spring, trigger and stop spring, and trigger all dropped right in on it. The hammer, hand and cylinder stop all required fitting. To be fair though, this Remington, although Italian made, was not a Pietta for which the parts are made. For another Remington, a .36 caliber reproduction, the main spring had to be shortened.The parts were well made and the finish was OK, although the spring on one of the hands came lose. One of the kits I bought at a local Cabelas Retail store, had some Remington parts in it, and it was marked for an 1851 Colt. At the time though, I needed some of those particular Remington parts, and actually chose that package. The one kit I mail ordered for a Remington, had the proper parts in it. In short, these kits are a great buy and very useful in repairing or upgrading worn black powder firearms.

C&B Revolver parts kit

Date:November 22, 2006

This kit is an excellent buy for the money. However, the part numbering system is confusing. Cabela's uses the same basic part number for both their "Army" and "Navy" model revolver kits. Catalog makes no mention of Remington or Colt, but shows photos of .44 Remington and Colt Army revolvers and likewise .36 cal. Remingtons and Colts. But in the final ordering you are given a choice of either "Remington" or "Navy" (not Colt).In the field, .44 cal. revolvers are referred to as "Army" calibers and .36 cal. referred to as "Navy" calibers.I wanted a kit for the Remington .36 cal and checked off the "Navy" not realizing the Colt kits on the other page had the same part no. I received a Colt parts kit.

A Lot of Work

Date:February 10, 2015

Had to do a lot of filing, stoning and polishing, as the parts came from Italy and the guns I was installing the parts in were made in the USA, in the end they worked just great.

Pietta pistol parts

Date:February 3, 2011

The parts I ordered were for an original 1860 Colt Army revolver. The pin holes were too small and had to be reamed out. And the cylinder stop had to be bent to engage sooner to get the proper timing. With a bit of modification you can make these parts work. After about two hours of filing and reaming and bending my old Colt is back in action.

Returned

Date:February 5, 2013

Would have been nice, but package was opened and bent parts were marked with tape....obvious a returned item. If not good enough for the original purchaser, why would it be good enough for me? Item is being returned. Perhaps the next one will be better.

nothing fit!

Date:March 3, 2009

The trigger and the hammer combination in the parts kit didnt work together, they cycled the barrel 1.5 chambers every time. It took 4 times of rebuilding with a combination of old and new parts to get it to work.

Remington new Army black powder pistol

Date:March 10, 2009

My gunsmith has advised me that the parts are well made but won't work in my pistol. I have a Euroarms of America Remington New Model Army that has a strong spring which makes it very hard to pull the hammer to half cock and full cock, also it has a hair trigger.

I ordered the parts from Cabelas in hope they would enable me to improve my Euroarms pistol. The Cabelas parts were made by F.LLI PIETTA and are not interchangeable with my Euroarms of America pistol. My review therefore cannot recommend the parts for use in Euroarms pistols. I suspect they would work just fine in a gun manufactured by F.LLI PIETTA.

This was not worth the money. Not all the parts fit and when you used them the gun would not work. It was the worst item I have ordered from Cabelas.
